When Kareena Kapoor revealed going vegetarian transformed her "inside out”; shared Sharmila Tagore's ageless beauty Secret
In an industry in which beauty often feels filtered, likewise food choices are dictated by trends; refreshing honesty was once brought to the table literally by Kareena Kapoor Khan. Kareena spoke about something during celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar ’s book launch. Her deepest physical and mental transformation didn’t come from luxury detoxes or fad diets, but instead it came from her embracing a purely vegetarian lifestyle.
“When I worked with Rujuta and turned pure vegetarian, my body and face completely transformed,” Kareena recalled. She said she isn’t strictly vegetarian today, though she leans toward a largely plant-based diet because of how it makes her feel: light, energetic, and also truly herself. She stated that such change was “inside out” instead of on the outside of her own self.
Love for KhichdiFor Kareena, that idea for comfort food actually does still remain quite beautifully rooted within the Indian tradition, in a world that has an obsession with fancy salads as well as with high-end superfoods. Since “My comfort food is khichdi, and if I don’t have it for 2–3 days, I start craving it. She laughed. “I actually message Rujuta saying, ‘There’s no khichdi in my diet—I can’t sleep at night!’”
That rice, lentils, and ghee bring deep joy, and also the best glow reminds us about her real love for plain food.
Sharmila Tagore’s Timeless Glow? It’s in the Sabzi!Kareena shared that legendary actress Sharmila Tagore possesses a beauty that is truly evergreen, a sweet detail. Kareena said, “She eats tori and lauki every single day.” This is a constant thing that she says. “That’s her secret—simple, home-cooked food.”
It is a nod toward the quiet power within old-school Indian cooking since it is timeless, local, and nourishing. Sharmila has a resemblance to this cooking in a big way.
A Kitchen Stirred by LoveKareena stated that there is just nothing that can actually ever compare to a quite good home-cooked Indian meal. This is true even despite all of the world travels that she did and access to the global cuisines. “I’ve eaten everything—French, Japanese, Italian—but I never feel as good as I do after eating dal-chawal at home. I feel like a zillion bucks,” she shared.
Even though she isn't the chief cook at home, Kareena happily admits that her husband, Saif Ali Khan, now runs the kitchen. “Saif has taken to cooking, and honestly, he’s better than me. I don’t even know how to boil an egg! she says with her usual honesty and little laugh.
The Real Glow-UpIn a sea of fancy serums and Instagram hacks, Kareena's story shows that simple, steady habits—and pure joy in eating—can work real magic. Whether it's the glow from bottle gourd veggies, the warm comfort of khichdi, or the giggles over dal-chawal, her take suggests that returning to basics is the most genuine luxury of all.
